    La Gazette du Tournoi du N°2 Mardi 12 mai 2009 Tempête de beau tennis... Lundi matin, la journée a démarré par les derniers matchs de qualification sous le soleil. Les 4 qualifiés pour le Tableau Final sont : Thierry Ascione (FRA), Jean-René Lisnard (MON), Nicolas Renavand (FRA) et Stéphane Robert (FRA). Les premiers matchs du Tournoi ont eu lieu et certains on dû être interrompus par un gros orage… Voici donc le nom de ceux qui ont passé le 1er tour : Sergio Roitman (ARG) et Mathieu Montcourt (FRA). Jean-René Lisnard Mathieu Montcourt Thierry Ascione EntreJEUX Rencontre avec le Stand des Associations Bruno Luttmann pour La Maison des Parents Ronald Mc Donald Yassine Hafid pour l’ Association Laurette Fugain. Parce que le sport est aussi vecteur d’échanges et de solidarité, la Villa Primrose a souhaité, cette année, mettre à l’honneur deux associations (Asso. Laurette Fugain et La Maison des Parents), en mettant à leur disposition un stand, situé à côté de l’entrée du central. Quel message souhaitez-vous faire passer en participant à ce Tournoi ? La Maison des Parents : Nous voulons montrer que notre association existe et quel est son rôle, c’est-à-dire celui de loger les parents dont les enfants sont hospitalisés à l’hôpital des enfants de Bordeaux. Pour cela, la fondation Ronald Mc Donald a financé la construction d’une maison pour ces parents en perte de repère. Ces maisons (il y en a huit en France) permettent de recréer une cellule familiale. En s’associant au tournoi, l’association recherche également des partenaires susceptibles de lui venir en aide.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. CORRUPTION: ITS IMPACT ON FAIR PLAY RICHARD H. MCLAREN* I. INTRODUCTION A difference between sport and entertainment is the unpredictability of sporting outcomes versus the planned and executed event that provides entertainment. Corruption attempts to alter this equation and make sport more of an entertainment event with a greater certainty of outcome. This equation is altered when corruption is centered on match fixing or gambling; biased refereeing; and, to a similar but different degree, when sporting results are affected by the use of performance enhancing drugs. Corruption, in any of the foregoing forms, robs sport of its essential feature of uncertainty of the outcome and accelerates its spin into the forum of entertainment, and thus it no longer is sport. Corruption gnaws away at the fundamental foundations of sport and therefore of sporting integrity. It becomes essential to protect that integrity to ensure that sport is free from any corrupt influence that might cast doubt over the authenticity and unpredictability of the sporting result.
